My new gig, we work in changing crews that travel to different cities towns for the gig. My first official day, I'm the only black person in the van & one of the old white cats is already speaking in stereotypical mocking black accent or whatever, so I was turned off dude immediately. Man we make a stop for gas and this ass HAS to point out to me specifically that McDonalds has a 'chicken & waffle' sandwich which is really and chicken mcgriddle.

He's coughing without covering his mouth and he's coughing a lot, too. At the job site, I just don't talk to him if I don't have to but I'm making small talk with the three other white folks. The oldest white dude keeps telling me stories and always finishes the them, but he's alright.

After the like 13 hours workday, we load back into the van but racist ass Gary is now sitting in the back next too me taking up the majority of the one backseat with his big ass. He is so fucking loud too, unnecessarily loud, we're all in this van right here. Motherfucker was doing bird noises for some reason, but I slept through that mostly.

When I'm walking to the van to get in, he's clapping his hands to hurry like I'm a dog or child or some shit. I get in the van and tell him to never do that again. He says sorry or whatever and sticks his hand out to shake but I "playfully"( meaning super sweet softly) slap his hand down.

Eventually he starts making jokes about sexually harassing me while rubbing my shoulder. It's clear I don't like dude and I'm uncomfortable as fuck but he literally says the words sexual harassment a few times while he's touching me.

Finally after 2 hour ride back to the city, I'm talking with the rest of em in the van. One dude is all excited about some cheese barn and promises to take me, I'm like cool but I think you're more excited than I am. Here come the asshole talking about "yeah the black guy doesn't want to go to the cheese barn". I don't say anything, the look on my face is visually annoyed but dude actually gets in my face and says "what are you gonna do, sue me?"

We we so close to the same studio, I was too happy to get out that van. But I felt like shit the rest of the night, thinking about what I should have said or done.

His ass is fired now, one of the bosses is a liberal white woman who thankfully doesn't play with this shit. The job is cool as fuck without him. He was making more money than me too.

aint no way...

not trying to victim blame but shit... what made this dude think he could bully kev like that?

>not trying to victim blame but shit... what made this dude
>think he could bully kev like that?

Cause he tried it very minor before and it went unchecked so he figured he can finally live his dream of saying shit to a black dude without consequences. Shit he couldn't do in the 80s or 90s.

This man hasn't seen Ice Cube in a music video in a long time and thought it was safe.

I would have drove the next day and played Dead Prez. Then I would have made a stop at my hood friends house and went inside for a bit and take the keys with me.

I'm trying play it cool like Urkel but they want me stay on Chuck D

What I look like trying to fight an obese old white man in a small ass backseat? I want to keep my job

But of course I was beating myself up dreaming about elbowing him in face when he got in mine, wishing I did

Should have checked that shit back then. Like really check it. Folks getting more and more comfortable about racism these days.

dudes out here like racism is more important than a job.

did you report him?

Apparently, he was like this isn't the first time he's been fired for his mouth

I don't know what his personal situation is where he can get a $12/hour job and blow if because he don't know how to act with some sense

you shouldnt have to fight at work but shit happens

on some when keeping it real goes wrong.

sure you coulda said something then, but that nigga gone. You chilling.

and try to avoid confrontation whenever possible...but dude would have gotten slumped. You showed amazing restraint, man. Sounds like a good gig that you didn't wanna lose and that had to be a consideration for not fucking this dude up. Glad you can actually work in peace, now.

I had a mostly black crew two days later and it was cool as fuck. So yeah, I was definitely thinking ahead of that first day.

I'm super glad they canned him though, I don't even have to see his face around and think how he has the job I wanted but didn't get. Now I'm trying to move up soon as fuck

we need to get this dude.

I'd give y'all his page to come at him however y'all like. Fuck that bitch
